Any pics of the cover installed? and if you wanted one quicker or cheaper I could have found you one. I just got one for $30.

If I end up getting a PRC intake manifold, does anyone know what's involved in modifying the the water port?

i installed the cover yesterday :D yay! finally lol... ill try get pics up tonight.

i got mine off ebay, theres a guy who sells them for integras/civics, he normally sells them with the water port cut off, and they come with a throttle body adapter... but i got a uncut one from him. ill try get details for you

you got RBC manifold cover genuine honda for $30?!?!! thats heaps good! im thinking of buying another one, scratched mine alittle installing it :( i was in a hurry lol oops

yeah i know what needs to be done for the water port, ill put instructions up once ive written some...

Last I drove an Euro with Toda headers, it was like night and day compared to a stock Euro. In my opinion, having your low end go back to a similar feel to an Icebox-equipped Euro is quite a power loss. But then again, Tony's Euro has a pretty strong engine compared to mine.

The Icebox has improved the mid end and even the top end a bit with minimal increase in noise.Cost me approx.$260 shipped,good value.I'm still running the stock top piece of the intake with a K&N filter(thanks euroo3act).Not sure what difference in power the top piece will make when i install it. Id be interested to compare another 06-07 manual with mine,as Aaron said mine seems to go hard for a basically stock engine.:confused:

I changed my engine oil after we last met up and it was a big improvement. The oil I had in the engine had seen a track day. When I drained it out, it was black and a little gunky. Even with the improvement, my car still doesn't have that mid-range lump of torque that your car does.

Good to hear.Is there anyone here that can confirm if there was any change to ECU mapping or whatever between an 04-05 to 06-07?from what i know there was no changes(apart from strengthened rods and crank)to the engine from 06 onwards.

you see i didnt find much difference with the headers... i felt more of an improvement in power after installing CAI... i dont know, maybe my butt dyno is compltely out :p

anyways, i finally got pics of the engine bay complete! it hasnt been cleaned or anything, but i know alot of you were desperate to see the final result!
so here she is:

i bought and modded K20 euroR intake manifold and installed on my K24, so i needed to get the euroR IM cover to make it sexy :D

FYI the 2.0 doesnt stand for 2L... its how quickly the car does 0-100km/hr :p haha

Does changing the intake manifold to the RBC decrease the Capacity of the engine?
i heard it does, if it decreases it to 2L does that mean it will rev higher now to?

*insert sarcasm*

Looks good :)

Latest Update!

Hey guys (and girls)

the latest update in my intake setup... Power Rev Racing throttle body spacer (for the '06 Civic SI) and P2R throttle body thermal gasket (same as hondatat IM gasket but for TB)...

on the K20 the TB spacer sees gains of around 4.5hp atw (dyno proven)... not sure what kind of gains ill get on the K24, but hey, ive basically run out of bolt on mods :( lol and at only $80 it was pretty cheap

I'm very skeptical about the 4.5hp gain using a TB spacer + insulating gasket.

I seriously doubt a spacer gaining 4.5hp as well. I just couldnt find its merits from the engineering point of view

just wondering where you can source the manifold from? and was there much trouble or pretty much direct bolt on?
